A Dozen Oregon Republican Lawmakers Urged the Attorney General to Support Texas Lawsuit Undermining U.S. Election Results “We believe that fair elections are vital to our democratic republic and that the submission of electors by these four states should be at least postponed.” An election-night party in Vancouver, Wash. (Chris Nsseth) Updated December 13, 2020 A dozen Republican state lawmakers wrote to Oregon Attorney General Ellen Rosenblum on Dec. 11, urging her to join the Texas lawsuit seeking to overturn presidential election results in four battleground states.
Dear Attorney General Rosenblum,
We the undersigned urge you to join the growing list of states joining the lawsuit filed by the State of Texas in which they have argued that electors from Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin should not be allowed to cast their votes in part because those states unconstitutionally changed their voting procedures during the coronavirus pandemic to allow for increased mail-in ballots.
According to the complaint, filed in the US Supreme Court: .[T]he 2020 election suffered from significant and unconstitutional irregularities in the Defendant States:
Non-legislative actors’ purported amendments to States’ duly enacted election laws, in violation of the Electors Clause’s vesting State legislatures with plenary authority regarding the appointment of presidential electors.

Sen. Kim Thatcher is among those who seek to overthrow the will of voters; and she sought to be Oregon secretary of state.
In one of the most curious and pointless political stunts of this long year, 12 Republicans in the Oregon House and Senate on Friday sent a letter to Oregon Attorney General Ellen Rosenblum asking her to support a lawsuit that would, in effect, nullify the wishes of Oregon voters in the presidential election.
The lawsuit from the state of Texas, which was rejected by the U.S Supreme Court Friday evening, had asked the court to intervene and thwart the will of voters in Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. The goal was to deny President-elect Joe Biden the electoral votes from those states, and thereby throw the election to President Trump, who lost in both the electoral college and the popular vote.
